Approximation Of Emission For Heavy Duty Trucks In City Traffic

Abstract

The work summarized in this paper analyzes the hazardous emission effects created in the city centers due to heavy duty truck operations. Simulations related to road and vehicle are backed up with the real time data to give more realistic results. The vehicle is simulated under both the road and traffic conditions with the acceleration and deceleration data coming from the information collected in real time. The real time data is preprocessed with a low pass filter to clear off unwanted parts. Then simulations are carried out via VISSIM and TruckMaker software. Eventually this paper claims the city center air pollution created due to heavy duty truck can easily be eliminated by converting to full electric trucks since the electric vehicle produces 0 emission and the electric energy production phase does not affect the air pollution at the city center.
